September

September's been another creative month.

Firstly, congratulations to Laura and her hubby on the birth of their son. 

Other group members have been busy too!!

Elaine's been on a roll, as they say, making these gorgeous weekend bags.

Shirley completed her pretty jelly roll purse (right) in time to take it on holiday as a gift for her hostess. 

Maria also completed another purse, this one (below) as a workshop sample, with another couple in progress and destined for a charity craft sales in November.




This is Gemma's very pretty Christmas tree wall hanging (right). There are quite a few of these still in progress so, hopefully, some more photos next month.

Rosemary's also been busy making mice (no photos available yet) and this lovely peg bag (below). 

A few of the group members missed this month's meeting one one reason or another so it'll be interesting to catch up next time with their projects and, hopefully, some more photos.

We're also looking forward in October to meeting new group member Jenny.

Following on from their stand at Festival of Quilts, and with a Project Linus quilt or two in mind for next year, we've invited the local co-ordinator to one of our meetings to tell the group abut the project. With a busy calendar for the early part of 2014, she's agreed to come along to our October meeting so, more on  this next time.

Still with next year's programme, a Sunday workshop with Alex Waylett has been booked for May.
